Crazy this is a thing actually being rolled out and it hasn't hit world headlines.

Europe, USA and other countries are not far behind this initiative once they (governments) see how even more successful it is for collecting and sorting data to control citizens.

Time to go to GrapheneOS folks.

Lol when this inevitably get backdoored/exploited, it's gonna be glorious

Just saw and ranted about this. I HATE THIS FUCKING FASCIST GOVERNMENT WITH EVERY FIBER OF BY BEING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I lowkey expect every modern device to be compromised (unless you're running custom roms). Whether it's Pegasus or something else. Only permanent solution is to stop using smartphones altogether.

They cannot get rid of the caste system but can successfully surveil 90% of the population

India saw Britain and said "I'm not going to let my former colonisers out do me."

This is just another crowdstrike incident in the making: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_CrowdStrike-related_IT_outages

Reuters cited sources to report that US tech giant Apple plans not to comply with the mandate and will convey the same to New Delhi

How do the corporations feel about this when they have workers in India?

Bring back dumb phones!

Does the iOS one get this sweeping access to everything as well (which would require Apple to specifically give it entitlements)?

Cool..how can I get it?

They too should suffer my endless search history for obscurities. I want them to download all of my USB storage of virus infected malware. I will sit idly and tap my fingertips against each other while my SMS messages corrupt their society from within.

Looks like the backlash has made them reassure us that it IS OPTIONAL for now...

I use Custom Rom(LineageOS)
